MassDOT posts Grand Junction Materials

We have reported on MassDOT’s shelving of the concept of passenger service on the Grand Junction railroad which runs through the Destroyed Nesting Area of the Charles River White Geese. It crosses the Charles River on the railroad bridge under the BU Bridge.

It was subtly being pushed by the Cambridge Pols. The Pols kept on saying “You can’t win.” As usual, the pols deviated from reality.

MassDOT has announced the posting of their materials at http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/planning/GrandJunctionTransportationStudy.aspx (sorry, blogger is not allowing direct links).

The Boston Globe has also reportsed MassDOT’s shelving of commuter trains on Grand Junction.

An extended quote has been posted on the Cambridgeport listserve.

If anybody can provide a link to the Boston Globe report, I would love to post it.
